The "Celestial Eyes" dust jacket for "The Great Gatsby," designed by Francis Cugat, is considered the most important in literary history due to its deep connection with the novel's themes and its influence on F. Scott Fitzgerald’s writing. The haunting image of disembodied eyes and lips over a cityscape perfectly captures the novel’s exploration of illusion and longing.
